Despite the chilly wind, Woojin was continuously rubbing his eyes with the back of his hand. The resort-sponsored walking path, now past midnight, was serene with long-standing lights along the road, and not a single person in sight.

“Shall we go back now? It seems like the snow has almost stopped.”

Since she didn’t grab her coat, Seoyoung draped Woojin’s jacket like a long coat and looked up at the owner of the jacket. He answered with eyes that were still red from rubbing.

“Let’s wait a little longer.”

“Seol Woojin, you should go in and sleep now… You look very tired.”

“…I took too much medicine. I was supposed to take half a pill, but I took an extra one.”

“Why did you come here, stressing yourself like that?”

While she was moved and happy that he came, she also felt sorry for bringing him with a tired body.

However, Woojin smirked and said mischievously, “I came to make Kim Seoyoung cry.”

“Thanks to you, I cried a lot. Why did you come here? You said you didn’t like meeting people directly during the signing event tomorrow?”

“Who would know my novel in this resort? All the rooms were booked, so I had no choice but to rent one.”

“Couldn’t the grandfather with many lawyers lend you a room?”

“He occupied the room I was going to choose.”

“Huh? Is your grandfather here too?”

“Yeah.”

“Why?”

“I don’t know.”

As he spoke, suddenly his large arms embraced Seoyoung. Her entire body became warm.

“Why is your body so warm? Let’s go back now. Let’s go back and sleep. Okay?”

“What about you?”

“Me? What about me?”

“Are you going to your room?”

“Oh, right!”

Seoyoung, at Woojin’s words, belatedly remembered that she forgot to bring her key card.

“I… I didn’t bring the key card. You need it to get in…”

“Didn’t your mom come with you?”

“My mom is sleeping. I was afraid she’d wake up if I rang the bell.”

“Good. Then stay in my room until your mom wakes up.”

Upon hearing that, Seoyoung, still in his arms, raised her head to look at his face and asked discreetly, “What naughty thing are you planning to do?”

“Isn’t it what you want? Tell me honestly.”

“No, it’s not?”

“Don’t you want me to read to you? What else will we do in the room all night?”

Watching Woojin speak provocatively while his eyes were closed, Seoyoung couldn’t stop him and just rolled her eyes.

Without seeing her rolling her eyes, Woojin suddenly bent his waist, bringing his face close.

To be precise, he was trying to kiss her forehead, but in her drowsiness, his chin hit the bridge of her nose.

“Ow!”

“Ouch!”

Both of them recoiled simultaneously. Woojin grabbed his chin in pain, while Seoyoung covered her head with her hands.

The collision of bones seemed to have completely awakened Woojin. While holding his painful chin with one hand, he reached out to find Seoyoung with the other.

“Kim Seoyoung! Are you okay?”
Seoyoung sat on the floor, rubbing her forehead. Seeing him in pain, she quickly moved to where he was struggling.

This time, she didn’t pull away or hug him first, now fully composed. “I’m here. Right in front of you,” she said, holding his shoulders.

Woojin, holding onto her shoulders, asked again, “Are you okay?”

“Are you okay, Woojin? It seems like your chin is weaker than your head… If you’re going to kiss in the future, let me know in advance. I’ll adjust my posture then.”

When the girl told the guy to do it properly if he intended to kiss so openly, Woojin replied with a blushing face, “I didn’t intend to kiss.”

“What? You weren’t going to kiss?”

“What do you mean? I was going to kiss, but it seems like my aim was off.”

“…How can you not understand a girl’s embarrassment?”

“It’s not like we’re doing anything more than a kiss. It’s not like I haven’t done it one or two times before.”

As Seoyoung spoke nonchalantly, Woojin, looking around with invisible eyes, said, “Is there no one nearby? People might think we’re mad. If you keep doing this.”

“As long as Seol Woojin doesn’t mind, what’s the problem?”

“I mind too, Kim Seoyoung.”

“What are you saying? Is Seol Woojin your first love?”

“Where did you get that nonsense… Am I a cow that you say your first love is?”

“Oh, is that so?”

To be precise, there were a few boys she liked in elementary and middle school. But she never confessed, so technically, Woojin could be considered her first love.

“Do you know, Cow? That you’re her first love?”

Despite not knowing why the conversation about her first love came up on such a nice date, Seoyoung honestly replied, “I don’t know. You didn’t ask.”

“Don’t ask. Don’t say it’s your first love.”

“Why?”

“Why? Because if I know I’m your first love, how arrogant do you think I’ll become? I’m already arrogant enough…”

“But Senior So is not arrogant…”

“Where does this girl side with an outsider man!”

Although Woojin was annoyed, Seoyoung laughed while being embraced in his arms.

Woojin’s face turned red when he saw her, his girlfriend, wearing his clothes in the best resort, experiencing the first snow with him, and even receiving his jealousy. It was an absolutely perfect date.
